If you are a fan of The Bachelor you are probably aware that Jason Mesnick dumped the winner of the show Melissa Rycroft six weeks after the show.  There are rumors that Jason was forced to break up with in her public, per their contract.  However, The Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss denies there was ever such a contract.  He says that would be impossible.  Fleiss says, "How would you present that in a contract anyways? Like, 'Everything you do with your life must be shown on ABC?' It's impossible. There would be no way to legislate that."  More rumors were said that Rycroft was surprised by the break up.  This is also said to be untrue.  Fleiss adds, "They'd been talking and they'd been seeing each other and I think it was clear to both of them that there were problems with the relationship at that point. As I understand it they were all but broken up prior to the show. I don't think she knew that she was going to give him back the ring, but I think she knew that they weren't gonna be together. So she definitely wasn't completely blindsided by the situation."  What was a shock to Rycroft was the fact that Mesnick revealed his feelings toward runner up, Molly Malaney.  Rycroft knew their relationship was not going to work but she did not think Molly had anything to do with it.  I wonder how she feels now.  She has not done any interview and she is not entitled to do so either. 
As for Mesnick and Malaney, She is giving him another chance so maybe he will finally get married.
